Good morning, happy Lord’s Day,

-Jesus Died And Rose To Save Us And Make Us His People To Live For Him-

“If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.”

(Romans 14:8).

When Jesus was born into this world, He came to seek and to save that which was lost. He fulfilled the Scriptures perfectly and died on the cross for our sins and rose again. By receiving Him as our Lord and Savior, we made alive together with Him. He bought us with His own precious blood. Our sins are forgiven and we have eternal life.

We are no longer under Satan’s control, sin’s control, or the flesh’s control. We now belong to Jesus. We now live to the Lord and die to the Lord. For the believer, the fear of death is gone. We know that when we die, we will go to be with the Lord forever. If the Rapture happens before we die, we will go up to heaven without dying. Either way we we will be the Lord.

Our mission in life is to live for the Lord. Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” We have much to do for the Lord, and the time is short. Each day we have life, we have the blessed privilege to live for Christ and to serve Him. None us of us knows when our time will come to leave this world and go to be with the Lord.

Let us live for the Lord fully and serve Him completely, one day at a time. We represent our Savior in this lost, dark, and sinful world. We are ambassadors for Christ, lights shining in the darkness, servants of the most high God. We must always live for the Lord and not for ourselves. Our greatest joy is to be pleasing to Him.

Have a blessed day living for and serving Jesus. Stay safe and healthy.

In His grace,

Dean
